Sampling more new stuff. Nightmare and the Cat - Simple. So-so.....so far......

^^^ Listening to/watching some of her on YouTube, pretty good, thanks Bryan EDIT: now some more new stuff. Faded Paper Figures - Relics

Just a few songs in, but enjoying new Imogen Heap album so far:

I'm with you Tom. My pre-order was September, and it IS good, but also my last order too.

I owned the Meridian Explorer, didn't do many comparisons, but the sound signature was fairly similar I thought between that and the GO. Clean, detailed. The Meridian MAY have had a touch more bass impact, literally certain tracks seem to impact me less with the GO. But no complaints overall with either, both very good. BTW, the Meridian also doesn't control volume on its own, it uses the source machine's volume control.....

And what do your puppy and baby play with, Ricky I get some of this with my Lambda-related phones, less with the 007.

Do some research on opinions on the x300a's I'd say. Can't remember where, but I read that more than one person was slightly disappointed in them (I seem to recall cabinet vibrations affecting the tone), though maybe it was in comparison to the LS-50's....for the price they may be quite nice. FYI, too, they are on sale even cheaper at Accessories4less.com.....

You are amazingly right, Jacob. RIP to one classy and beautiful woman!

Coil - Music To Play In The Dark Vol. 2 - freaky and good.

Nice! I bet it'll drive the Senn's better,,,,, I've been actually quite enjoying mine. Definitely eeks out more detail than the iDSD Nano....and the slightly leaner sound doesn't bother me at all.....may just be the warmth of the iDSD is less neutral.

^^^ Watching this at work, without audio, and chuckling in the middle of a meeting.....can't imagine what it's like WITH audio! EDIT: Holy Fuck! Audio is priceless! Her voice is.....is.....oy.....

Couldn't believe this when my wife told me it was suicide. So sorry to hear that.....RIP funny man, and sympathies to family, friends, and fans.

^^ Me 3

Norway. Home of Great Fjords and rolling valleys of hair.....

Sorry to hear that, Chris....that's my world after almost every vacation......

Agreed, but explicitly stated what Antonio may have been thinking.....

I'm getting a severe sense of deja vu on these, think I called them Barney The Dinosaur speakers..... But yeah, purple or not, would love them.....

After a fairly inefficient day (lots of work, little actual progress), I came home tired and mentally a bit stressed. Checked my email for the multitude of job opportunities I seem to get, and one came in that was so mis-matched to my experience, I had to reply tongue-in-cheek. Here is my reply to the basic required duties of the position.....click to read if you care (I had fun with it, it de-stressed me, and the recruiter loved it)

Happy Birthday!

This x2. Condolences to the whole family

Sorry for your loss... RIP Neko, may the memories be great

Echo'd here, too. Sorry for your family's loss, Larry. And focus on the good memories & people, not the bad son.

Happy Birthday!

Taking a break from Hi-Res.... Got A Girl - I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now Scott Pilgrim's girlfriend sings to a slower hip-hop-like instrumentation plus some extras. Pretty interesting stuff. EDIT: the more I listen, the more I like. Vocals are not so special, more of whispery pop, but she uses the voice well. And the music behind her is pretty cool.

Finally got mine. Listened yesterday at work with Phonon's, and brought in the Senn 600's today, listening now. Fairly impressed....this seems to have a leaner sound than the ifi iDSD I got while waiting for this, but not in any way to detract from overall experience. Adds some nice air compared to iDSD, but not sure which I prefer with things like vocals and piano. Listening to 24/192 Bill Evans Waltz For Debby, it's fairly sublime, nice way to start my day since I'm in earlier than most others. Will compare that to DSD of the same, as well as play some other DSD I have (ELP Brain Salad Surgery, Pink Floyd Wish You Were here, Propaganda Wishful Thinking, and Belafonte At Carnegie Hall). Happy for a minimal-meeting day!! Head down, music on, I might even get some work done..... BTW....I have the Geek 700, not the 450; no issue to drive the Senn's. Does run quite warm, almost hot. Wonder about long-term reliability with things in such a small package.
